Our department has 115 sworn and has the CID broken down like so.
4 property crime dicks
4 adult violent crime
2 juvenile crime
4 in multi jurisdiction drug unit.
Recently there has been talk of assigning everyone other than the drug guys to particular patrol districts as "district detectives" which would take all CID assigned cases and be a generalist. This is "in line with community policing" according to the brass. Have any other PDs done this and how does it work out? We have some guys that are specially trained in some things such as forensics, white collar, etc. that are kind of up in arms....but change is good....Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks
